Akron Zips to host party for NCAA Women's Tournament pairings tonight

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's party time at Akron as the women's basketball team will host a NCAA Tournament Selection Show party beginning at 6 p.m. Monday in the Tommy Evans Lounge on the second floor of Rhodes Arena.

Head coach Jodi Kest (call her JoJo, she'll tell you why) and the rest of the team will be on hand for the 7 p.m. announcement on ESPN.

This will be the first NCAA Tournament trip in school history for the Akron women, who won the Mid-American Conference Tournament over Ball State on Saturday to punch their ticket to the tournament.

We will share comments and observations from the evening here so come back shortly after 6 p.m. for updates from the festivities.
